Crash Course Workshop Testimonials

Jenn Bovee, The Mental Wellness Center

"I walked into this workshop thinking I just needed a clearer niche statement. I walked out realizing I'd been playing small in ways I didn't even notice. The exercises helped me nail down exactly who I serve and how to speak to them in a way that feels natural instead of sales-y. I finally understand what attracts cash-pay clients, and more importantly, what has been getting in my way. The money-mindset work cracked something open for me. I left feeling clearer, bolder, and a whole lot more confident about the direction of my practice."

"I thought I knew my niche, but DJ helped me focus it down to crystal clear. Now I know how to explain not only WHO I serve, but HOW I help them in one clear sentence!"

Anna Cimburek

"I am just starting out on my journey into private pay. I have been hesitant given lack of tools and resources to get me started. DJ's workshop provided a starting foundation and big picture ideas to get the ball rolling. I loved the collaboration from everyone in attendance."

Lori Jones, EmbraceWell, LLC

"So many things: helping to tighten up my branding so that it has clarity to others and is memorable was a top one. Also, thinking about my money mindset surprised me. Having others that are processing the same concerns was very validating. Also, thinking about marketing and networking in a more targeted way helped me to conceptualize what changes I need to make in my own practice."

Felicia Kanu, LMSW

"My biggest takeaway was realizing how much money-related trauma we carry as clinicians and how deeply it shapes our ability to grow and sustain our practices. Doing this work in community helped me build awareness, shift my mindset, and make more confident business decisions. I would absolutely recommend this workshop to any therapist who wants to expand both their clinical and financial well-being."

Coaching Testimonials

"I got my first full-fee client at $300!"

"I became reinvigorated with networking and the clarity to say no to things I don't want to do. I feel more in my adult self in a lot of ways - clear, calm, confident. Thinking strategically!

I've done 3 other programs and this is the most hands-on, really specific look I've been able to get at my business. You didn't waste time with 'therapetizing' and instead really applied a 'boots on the ground' strategy."

— Shelley Freeman, LCMHC

"Having a self-pay practice feels more realistic and attainable."

"I'm definitely more confident in taking the steps we created together. I gained the confidence to eliminate free consultation calls and instead put in place a system that is easier for both me and the client.

DJ was a great coach and helped challenge me to dream bigger in a way that still feels realistic to my life right now. He was open to sharing what has worked and not worked for him, which has saved me a lot of trial and error."

— Jocelyn Flores, LCSW

"Do it. Do it scared. Do it reluctantly."

"I got a clear vision of the future of my practice and created steps for what I am able to do to lead me there. I have a clear niche, and I'm continually improving my website to reflect who I am.

I thought I had a niche before and it turns out, I didn't. What I got from coaching was more hope, confidence, and a guide into getting my practice to suit me - not adapt to other's expectations."

— Jessica Elliott, LMFT Associate

"4 weeks is not enough time - I left feeling like I want more, every single week!"

"My entire view on private pay shifted. I would totally recommend anytime DJ has."
